Default What color boogie lights are legal in CA...

while riding? Scootergrrl really wants some. Does anyone know? I have already ruled out blue and red as I assume they are reserved for leo's only. She wants orange...Is it legal?

Amber (orange) are about the only legal color... but

Somehow there is a loophole for auxillary lighting. You can be stopped for using fog lights.

For the most part, as long as you aren't red/blue and you aren't making an *** of yourself you will be fine.

I think as long as you can't see the device emitting the light any color is legal. I would as a cop in your state to be sure.

Homosexuality is legal in Cali but LEDs on your bike are not???

Seriously, I would consultstate statute, or state code book for what is legal. They should be available on-line. I would think amber would be fine.

Check the sponsors listing at the top of the page. They are listed there. Basically, they are LEDs that light up your bike.

You know Anubisss the more questions you ask about California law the more happy I am here in Georgia. If I was you, I wouldn't invest in the boogie lights. I would invest in a "Home For Sale" sign and move to a non-communist state. You don't have to move far either, just one state east to Neveda.

Come into the light and join the rest of us in what is left of our freedom.
